Forteo vs. Tymlos: Which did you choose?

Hello.
I know this post is old, but can you please tell me where you found the information of a human getting osteosarcoma from Tymlos? I thought it was only found in rats. I am only doing my homework on this and your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

FYI … the Black Box Warning has been lifted from Forteo. I wonder if they will remove it from Tymlos as well?

Hi @cabba, I'm not sure @youngtwin is still following Connect but hopefully she will see your question and reply. I did find some information on the topic that may answer your question.
" Has Tymlos caused osteosarcoma in humans?
You shouldn't use Tymlos for more than 2 years. This is because Tymlos and other parathyroid medications may increase your risk for developing osteosarcoma (a form of bone cancer). * Parathyroid medications work to increase bone density and strength."
